An asylum seeker boy came to Sweden in the winter of 2015, when he was 15 years old. Today he is 18 and his asylum procedure is still not clear.

He gets to 61 kronor per day in compensation from the Swedish migration board, a total of 1800 per month, which shall suffice for private accommodation, food, bus passes, clothes, medicines, hygiene and any leisure activities. The migration board also realizes that the sum is not sufficient for all and has therefore introduced a possibility to request a supplement for more expensive things, such as glasses or winter coat and warm shoes.

and can no longer have his old jacket and his winter boots. He, therefore, turned to the Swedish migration board to receive a part of the special allowance, but was refused.

Motivation is as follows: ”You have spent three winters in the country without having to previously show the need of special grants for winter clothing. The Swedish migration board finds, therefore, that you do not have a very strong need of clothes”.

winter shoes in three years, it is therefore a proof that you do not need new clothes now, either. And if you have made to become chargeable to their budget for special needs to be punished to not get charged the now either.

Utterly bizarre, and in addition, break the work against the law. In section 7, LMA 1994:361, that the board refers to in its refusal, stated the following: ”in Particular, contributions on the reception of asylum seekers m.fl. provided for costs incurred because of special needs. The specific contribution may include costs that are necessary for a decent life-style, t.ex. costs for winter clothes”.

the rule of law, implementing the expulsions on too loose grounds and cling to the wretched åldersbedömningarna. The breaks also against the law and forcing vulnerable young people to freeze through the winter.

the Bad, the Swedish migration board. Redo and doing right!
